Described as a bottle of energy that goes non-stop every day, Willis Physical Education teacher Tammy Schneider was named Willis ISD’s Most Valuable Player for June.

Schneider teaches at C.C. Hardy Elementary School.

“Tammy is a true inspiration to both teachers and students,” said Adriana Velasco, principal of C.C. Hardy. “She ensures that not only are students having fun, but that they are also learning about health and fitness.”

Schneider has 18 years of experience motivating students in Willis ISD. Her motto is, “When you’re moving, you’re improving.”

“She is always looking for new and creative ideas to improve her P.E. program,” WISD Superintendent Tim Harkrider said. “She’s also involved in health and fitness activities throughout our district.”

“I refer to my P.E. classes as ‘Positive Energy’,” Schneider said. “I strive to instill the values and benefits of life-long health and fitness in all my students.”

Schneider tries to establish a relationship with her students outside of her P.E. classes and wants them to know she cares about how they perform academically, she said.

“Our students absolutely enjoy Coach Schneider,” said Monica Johnson, a teacher who works with Schneider. “It’s exciting for all of us to walk through the door every day and know that she will be here.”

“She is truly a team player who cares about her students, her fellow teammates and her school,” added music teacher, Kellie Davis. “Tammy is just an amazing teacher.”
